HT1212 I bought a iphone 4s off ebay, the seller's daughter forgot to remove her password but did restore everything else. Its not synced with my itunes so I am not able to go that route. What other way can I restore this Iphone 4S.

I purchased am Iphone 4S from ebay. Sellers daughter restored Iphone but didnt remove password. He sent me the password but after entering it a few times after I had already previous tried passwords before I reached him now I have reached the disabled screen and now have the correct password but am unabke to use it due to disabled screen. It is not synced with my Itunes so I am not able to go that route. If anyone else has any other suggestions please lead me.

If you get locked out of your phone with an incorrect passcode, then the only way is to do a restore and for that you need to connect it to iTunes and that is it. No other way to go.

thanks for your kind help

1. Update iTunes - latest version is 10.4.1.
2. Disable ALL security apps (firewall, antivirus/spyware) running on your computer.
3. Don't try to downgrade the iOS version. This isn't supported
4. If you EVER tried to hack thie phone or use apps like tinyumbrella, you may have to edit the hosts file on your computer to remove references to gs.apple.com
5. If your phone has been hacked (jailbroken, iOS downgrade, or unauthorized unlocking), you may not be able to restore the phone to Apple specs again.

Maybe you are trying to restore at an old version of iOS...
Try to re-install iTunes on your PC.
If it still doesn't work check some solution on the "support" section of the Apple web site, and then (if you didn't find anything) you can try to go to an Apple Store

You can also take a look at this information from this support document: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694

Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

I can't restore the iPhone archive because a certain file is unrestorable

Hello everyone, I'm new to this Discussion Board I've been an iPhone 3GS 32GB user for over a year now, and I decided to make an account here and start this topic, because I've got a really serious problem... As the topic title can give you a hint on what is going on, let me describe everything in detail:
Not so long ago I had upgraded my iPhone with iOS 4.0 to 4.0.1 (I did that 1 day after the official release of the new version). 2 days ago, when I wanted to make a call, I came across an issue manifesting itself by iPhone nearly instantly showing "Call ended" and later on "Call failed", consecutively. It was happeninng so, regardless of whom I wanted to call. What's noticable is that I could send and receive text messages, as well as receive incoming calls, without any problems. Making some research on the Internet, I found out that similar issues had been occurring with the earlier versions of the OS. None of the solutions described (turning off the automatic date and time setting and so on) didn't help me, as well as turning the iPhoone on and off, trying to get into the DFU mode, and downgrading to iOS 4.0 (I couldn't downgrade anyway) which didn't help either. Not knowing what to do next, I restored my iPhone to the factory settings, losing, as obvious, all apps, text messages, contacts etc. along the way. After this restore I was able to make outgoing cals again but wanting to have all my text messages, I decided to load the newest backup onto my iPhone, and see what would happen. After loading the backup, I had all my contest back again but I was also again unable to make outgoing calls... (this proved that the issue was caused by some saved iPhone settings, or something similar, but not the iOS version itself). In this case I had nothing else to do, but to get back to the factory settings once again. As I cared abot keeping all my text messages, I read on the Internet the the way to save them is to copy the file called "3d0d7e5fb2ce288813306e4d4636395e047a3d28" from the backup folder. In the next step you were supposed to make a backup of the phone restored to the factory settings, and overrite the file in that backup with the one you had copied earlier (to spare myself any problems, I also copied the "31bb7ba8914766d4ba40d6dfb6113c8b614be442" file with the contacts). The problem turned out to be the fact that in the guide about all these files, there wasn't mentioned any information that you also should copy the following files: Info.plist, Manifest.plist i Status.plist (unfortunately, I found out about this fact later). I ompletely lost the rest of these files be deleting folders with the previous backup.
So now, when I put the files I had copied earlier to the folder with the new backup, I am presented with this kind prompt while trying to restore: "iTunes cannot restore "iPhone (XXX)" because some files from the archive could not be restored" (or something similar because, since I have the Polish version of iTunes installed, I'm not sure how it is put in the original literally). I've tried to restore these *.plist files with some file recovery tools. These tools do find these files from the same day (that is, the 18th), but they differ from each other by the time they were last modified (some are from 12:19A.M., others from 3:20P.M. etc.), as well as they differ from the 2 files I had copied by the same manner. I assume that these differences in time (as well as in checksums that I found out about) cause the backup to not be seen by iTunes when I put these revovered *.plist (along with the 2 files that I had copied) in the backup folder. The same result occurrs when I recover these files with the long names the same way I had recovered the *.plist files, and put them in the backup folder with these *.plist files.
I can't deny that I would really like to have all my text messages back.... Does anyoneone know how to import them back on the iPhone from that "3d0d7e5fb2ce288813306e4d4636395e047a3d28" file, because I'm getting really frustrated here I read it could be achieved by changing the *.plist files checksums if iTunes doesn't want to restore a backup the normal way. If this is the only way to do it (or if there are any other work arounds), please guide me on how to do it. I really need help

Would you recommend upgrading again to Mountain Lion after the Snow Leopard upgrade?
Yes, Lion and Mountain Lion are a significant upgrade from Snow Leopard, and they fully support iCloud syncing.
First verify that your model number supports Mountain Lion (I'm pretty sure it does), then check how much RAM you have. Your model only comes with 1 GB (https://support.apple.com/kb/sp16), which is inadequate for later versions. Upgrade to 4 GB if you haven't already. The upgrade is a do-it-yourself project that will take 5 minutes if you are at all handy with modern electronics; you just remove the 1 GB DIMM and insert 2 2GB DIMMs. Here's an example of a memory upgrade kit: http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Modules-Macbook-KTA-MB667K2-4GR/dp/B001265GI2/ref =sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1362357462&sr=8-2&keywords=imac+memory+2gb.
This is not an endorsement of this vendor or this manufacturer; it is just a reference for the type of memory you need. (Not that there's anything wrong with Amazon or Kingston.)

How can I restore my iphone 4s to a previous backup I can see in the backup folder?

Ok, here's a question for the restore/ backup pros.
On 1/4/14 I thought I would back up my iPhone 4s because it had been over a year (yeah, I know not a good idea to wait so long) since I had last backed it up (8/13/12, to be exact). So, when I connected it to my computer, iTunes recommended I update the iTunes software. So, I did. Somewhere in the middle of the update I noticed that my iPhone kinda "rebooted" and I saw what a friend of mine referred to as the "restore iPhone" image on it.
Then, I received an error message from iTunes saying that there was a problem with my iPhone & that I would have to restore it to factory settings. WTH!!!!
I went ahead and befored the restore. Oddly enough, I seemed to get all my data back. Heck, I even got emails & contacts that I added minutes before I tried to back it up. I thought I had dodged a bullet & then I started to notice Apps that were missing & other Apps that I had deleted long ago back on the iPhone.
Then, other anomolies surfaced, like photos missing, contacts missing, & worst of all the App that I used to store some really preceious pictures, photo vault, was also gone (and all my most precious pictures). Those pics were not in my camera roll any longer as I had moved them to this App.
Okay, I studied all I could on the net & learned where the backup files are stored on my computer and huh, it looks likes it took a back up right before (during?) the iTunes update that caused all this mess. The problem is, iTunes doesn't show this backup as one I can select when trying to restore it.
My Question is, "How can I restore my iPhone to the backup dated 1/4/14 that I can clearly see in the backup folder?"
Many thanks, psmcpher

oops. typo: "I went ahead and befored the restore." should be... I went ahead and performed the restore.

My partner was trying to sync my phone to iTunes on our mac but instead restored all his phone details to my phone. It appears that I have lost everythin. I have no backup. How can I restore my iPhone.

hmm thats kinda odd! how he managed to do that i dont know I thought the backups were locked per phone or phonenubmers serial. Anyhow IF you have no backup at all then you have lost everything. There is software out there that can recover data on the phone that was deleted.. I would personally click restore on Itunes and restart over. You cant get back what you lost that easy and software that does recover deleted data may not allways work 100% and costs money for the software..
Lesson learned huh..
